Firefox 15 is out and 16Beta 1 is up

Until chrome solves/improves the below, firefox forever! :p :D

- Firefox is faster for me (especially when loading image/GIF/Flash intensive pages, chrome really sucks in that area), pages are loaded first and then rendered instantly where as with chrome it loads the pages whilst rendering at the same time so it doesn't have that same instant feel as firefox, just appears that it loads faster. However, overall chrome is faster and smoother throughout the UI.

- having the gmail tab pinned and if you receive an email it doesn't change colour, you need to install an addon and have an icon in the nav bar, so more clutter

- pages aren't remembered where you left off after you close chrome, just reloads them and brings you back to the top of the page again, so means you have to scroll all the way through again looking for the last post you read

- userstyles look no where as good on chrome

- no where as smooth when scrolling as firefox even with smooth scroll installed especially for image/flash/GIF intensive pages

- font looks much better, more smooth for firefox

The same reasons I'm still with Firefox ;).
 
anyone else getting compatibility issues between firefox and flash in version 15?

firefox is crashing every few minutes randomly for me and it's getting on my nerves now. started using i.e


I kept getting too, but not now :eek:


Switched off hardware acceleration.

Options/Advance tab/untick "Use hardware acceleration when available"


Sorted, happy now.
 
Catalyst 12.8 and crossifre graphics cards currently have an enormous memory leak with firefox and hardware acceleration turned on. Enormous as in 'Oh look, your computer has 100% of the ram being used' sort of enormous.
